Fleeing/attempting to elude. A 24-year-old man was arrested for attempting to flee from an officer who began to follow him after he saw the man driving 60 mph in a 40 mph zone. Police report that at one point, the driver turned off the vehicle's head lights while attempting to lose the police officer.
The man told police he panicked because his driver's license is suspended and the vehicle's tag did not belong to it. He said he made the decision to flee because he thought he would go to jail if he was pulled over and called himself an "idiot" for causing the incident.
Regardless, he was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail after being apprehended in the driveway of his home in Holly Hill.
